Tamiya USA's having a survey for new kit ideas - taking it earns you a 25% off coupon for use on the site.

I voted for next year's Ducati MotoGP bike which will be ridden by Valentino Rossi :P

You can take it here.

I saw plenty of items for the Formula 1, military and I P M S crowd . Didn't see anything ole geezers like me would be interested in like a 58 Pontiac Bonniville Convertable with tri carbs , Varoommmmmmmmmmmmmm...............Ed Shaver

I see us 1/24(25) scale truck guys didn't get an opinion! :P I know Tamiya has made quite a few trucks in their R/C line I'd like to see in a kit form.

I'd also would have liked to see more in the 1/25 scale military other than figures, too. I think they have done a couple 1/25 scale tanks from WWII, but I'd like to see a modern M1-A1 or M1-A2 Abrams tank in that scale. I'd love to have one as a load on a lowboy truck!

I couldn't complete the survey. There was absolutely nothing on that list that I look forward to. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

However, they give you the opportunity to nominate what kits you'd like to see.

There is a write-in box at the end for what you want them to do next. I'm not too exited about what they've got coming up either, except for the 09 Yamaha MotoGP bikes and the Rossi figure.

By the way, I forgot I'd like to see the 1973 Ford Bronco in something other than R/C, too!

I didn't notice that, I might just have to mention what I did in my earlier posts! :P

Matt, the Franklin Mint has a Abrahms in 24th scale. I have two. They're about 200 bucks if I remember correctly. And yes, they DO look inpressive as a lowboy load.:D;) (Oh, the also offer a WWII Sherman, and a Hummer, all in 24th scale):)

Thanks George, I didn't know that. Even though, anything with "Mint" behind it is a little out of my price range! :D

I voted and suggested they produce a 1/24 Citroen DS19 or DS20 and a 1/24 Lotus Cortina. I'm pretty sure that's going to be a long shot. ;)

But hey, the coupon was a nice incentive.

Bob, At the bottom of the new release listing, one can check the "other" box and list your favorite Tamiya model, or just write "none of the above"

:angry:

I went to my first F1 Grand Prix races in '76. I saw the Canadian GP at Mosport and the US GP East at Watkins Glen. To me, choosing the 1/12 version of the McLaren M23 was a no-brainer. I just hope it would be the James Hunt version.
